Law of One Channeling

[Tenet Nosce]

There is your problem in a nutshell. You really don't like the whole aspect of being a person constantly expressing love toward others. It sounds like you are not comfortable with it. And it sounds like your definition of love has something to do with charitable works and constant washing of feet and carrying of bags.

Mmm... not exactly. But you aren't totally off. It has more to do with different experiences where I did express love, and felt like I had it twisted against me or thrown back in my face or was taken advantage of because of it.

For example- I had a long time friend who struggled with some deep personal issues. While there was certainly love and kindness within this person, he often displayed some truly repulsive characteristics. He was very jealous of others, vindictive and spiteful, judgmental, and manipulative. Especially toward women. I was one of the few people who acted as a true friend toward him. While I was by no means perfect, I showed compassion and acceptance toward him. To make a long story short, he eventually succumbed to drugs and alcohol and had a complete mental breakdown- including paranoid delusions that I was spearheading a mass conspiracy against him and had actually implanted devices in his brain to control him. This was ten years ago (almost to the day, actually). He still believes all of this, and will send me nasty emails telling me all the horrible things about myself. Or he will call friends, family, or business associates trying to get my cell phone number so he can harass me on the phone, etc. Point being- it seems like I would be much better off had I cut ties with this person much earlier in the friendship, but I kept on thinking that I was being "loving". All I got in return was anger and hatred.

Another example- a woman I dated who was... well basically kind of nuts. She would be all lovey-dovey one minute and the next minute turn on me like a rabid dog. She consistently took advantage of my propensity toward forgiveness by doing outrageous things. It was almost like she was pushing me to see how awful she could act toward me, and I went along with it for a while naively thinking that I was supposed to learn how to be more "loving" toward her. Yet the more loving and forgiving I was, the more she tried to take advantage of it.

Another example- a friend who I co-signed on an auto lease for thinking I would do a nice thing because she had no credit, and her dad was being a jackass and wouldn't help her out. Turned out to be several years of monthly torment trying to get the payments out of her- a couple of times we went late damaging my credit. But somehow- in her mind I was the one being an a$$hole towards her every time I mentioned something to the effect of... gee do you think it is a good idea to be dropping a hundred dollars on the bar when your car payment is due next week?

So these are three examples of the lessons of "loving folly". Basically, it means there are people out there who prey on the lovingkindness of others and seek to take advantage of these types of situations. Nowadays, I don't tend to get into these types of situations anymore because I have learned to better discern between those who are just out looking to take advantage of the kindness of others, and those who are genuinely in need of service.

IMO, it would do you a great deal of benefit to come to a better understanding of what it means to love others. Maybe then, when you are more comfortable with your experiences, than you will also be more confident about teaching others what you have experienced and come to realize. As well as appreciating those things being expressed to you by others.

Perhaps ironically to your way of thinking- I believe I now have a better understanding of what it means to love others. And that involves the realization that one does not need to sacrifice what is in their own best interest in order to serve others. This along with the realization that some people are as "bottomless pits". You can keep pouring in the love, but they never quite get their fill. And as soon as you stop pouring for a brief moment- they fly into fits and drama.

In a nutshell- there are those who function as "energy vampires" and it is folly to attempt to engage them with so-called loving behaviors. Until they learn a modicum of self-love, i.e. the ability to recognize the self as a source of love, they will continue to prey upon others leaving destruction in their wake without so much as a second thought.

I agree with Diana here. What you(Tenet) proclaim and profess here as the loving folly of others is simply your own distaste for it, not a true defintion of love. And expressing love and applying it to one's life can be done with as much careful and willful construction as anything else that one can do.

Again, I partially agree with you, and partially think you have missed what I am saying. Yes- you are right- one may express love with careful and willful construction as you say. The part I don't agree with is the notion that many people hold- including many "lightworkers" (not necessarily you)- that being loving essentially means being a doormat for others to wipe their feet on while they pursue their own selfish goals with little to no regard for how their behavior affects those around them. In other words, martyrdom. And beyond this, are those who would point the finger at others who refuse to martyr themselves, and accuse them of "consorting with the devil". THAT is what I find distasteful.

Another concept which really grinds my gears is the notion that being "loving" means always being "nice". For example, I frequently employ sarcasm when discussing with others. The reason being- it works. It strikes right to the heart of the issue rather than pandering to one's fickle emotions and all the "niceties" which some believe are "right and proper" in conversation. Now I recognize that this form of service is not appreciated by all, and doesn't work in all cases. But it has worked in enough cases for me to know that it does work. For example, I get frequent PM's from other members in this forum telling me "thank you" for saying what needed to be said while others were beating around the bush trying to be "nice" to each other. Why must one always be "nice" when debating? Why not just say what is on one's mind, and let the chips fall where they may? To my kind of thinking, all of this emphasis on "being polite" and "political correctness" is actually a disservice, and gets in the way of real communication.

Maybe you(Tenet) need to clarify what you mean by the naivete, lack of foresight and folly of those who walk toward the Light.

You are mistaken if you believe I said walking toward the Light is folly. It is not folly to walk toward the Light. Rather it is folly to seek the Light using only the faculty of love, while ignoring wisdom or faith.

Gosh, there are so many examples, I don't even know where to begin! Other than the examples I gave above from my own personal experience, here are some others:

A husband/wife who take out a second mortgage on their home in order to pay for their 30-something-year-old son to go through drug rehab AGAIN after he repeatedly failed to get his act together.

Any sort of enabling of drug users, alcoholics, gambling addicts, etc.

Any sort of martyrdom where one sacrifices their own personal growth and development to attend to another who is unwilling to take responsibility for their own life.

Native americans naively accepting tainted blankets offered by Englishmen as a "peace offering".

Anybody who works their a$$ off for a company which repeatedly takes advantage of them and doesn't pay them what they're worth. Meanwhile the CEO gets millions of dollars in bonuses.

People who hoard animals- turning their own home into a makeshift animal shelter as if they could ever possibly "save the animals". Meanwhile, they have no close relationships with other human beings.

Elderly people who fall prey to all manner of scams, naively trusting in that "nice man" who came by their house.

People who join various pyramid money-making schemes, trusting in the false promises of others who claim to have their best interests at heart.

A woman who stays with an abusive man because she "loves" him.

A forum moderator who sacrifices their own time and energy which could be put to their own family or business in order to police grown-ass adults who can't seem to get along on their own without bickering and fighting like little children.

People who sign up for the military and put their own lives at risk fighting illegal wars because they "love" their country, and trust in what their political leaders are telling them.

People who naively trust in doctors that are little more than legal drug pushers.

An obese mother who feeds her family a bunch of garbage food because she "loves" them, while ignoring that she is actually destroying their health, and her own.

People who snub their noses at any type of "conspiracy theory" because they just won't believe that there are others out there lying to them and trying to control them.

I could go on and on...

The point is that so many people get all bent out of sorts when they learn about these "evil" or "STS" people at the top of various power pyramids controlling the masses. But the reason they get away with these various schemes is precisely because the "ignorant masses" fail to learn these lessons about loving folly and naivete. They fall for the same old plots again and again and again. This is why "STS" laughs. It is such easy pickings!

Rather, if people learned to be a little more discerning. A little less trusting in appearances and what appears to be on the surface (all the smiles and niceties, and false promises of a better future (e.g. "Change We Can Believe In!), then the dark forces would not be able to keep their toehold in this reality. We are not victims to "STS". We open the door to them as vampires seeking shelter in the sunlight, foolishly thinking that we are going to rehabilitate them with our love.

Rehabilitation is possible, and love is the way. But they need to take the first step. One doesn't let a wolf into the farm to mingle with the chickens until the wolf has demonstrated that they can be trusted. If a wolf comes knocking at the gate claiming "You should love and accept me for who I am!" the appropriate response is to tell the wolf that you do love and accept them- but that doesn't mean you will grant them access to your chickens.
